Beloved television actor Sherman Hemsley passed away Tuesday. While perhaps best known for his role as George Jefferson on “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons,” Hemsley demonstrated his vocal chops in a side gig as a singer. Hemsley’s 1992 R&B album “Dance” proved to be the perfect title considering the actor’s fancy feet mastery.

In celebration of Hemsley’s life, we compiled five videos showing off Sherman’s finest dance moves. Heaven just got a little bit groovier.
